So after the Lewinsky scandal, everything changed, and we moved from using the Bible to address the moral issues of our time, which were social, to moral issues of our time that were very personal. I have continued that relationship up until the present.

The most distressing aspect of the world into which you are going is its indifference to the basic issues, which now, as always, are moral issues.

That's my personal view I would say most in my caucus agree with that but there are some who don't and I've always said that on these kinds of moral issues, people have the right to their own opinions.

Issues
Issues are abound and around,
Issues break the hearts astound,
Issues encourage being excellent,
Issues envisage the predicament,
Issues are the oars to push the boat,
Issues are umbrellas, get wet, not protects,
Issues issue the ticket to the ground,
Imitate the quality of the dew on the grass,
To minimize the issues as small as possible,
When the dew reflects the tallest building,
on its smallest surface without illusion,
When the dew on the grass can reflect it,
Upside down in same proportion,
Why are we, human, afraid of issues?
Make it small and solve it.

Not all moral issues have the same moral weight as abortion and euthanasia. There may be legitimate diversity of opinion even among Catholics about waging war and applying the death penalty, but not... with regard to abortion and euthanasia.

Looking For A Way Out
Stumped, looking for a way out, many don’t know what it’s all about,
A country in crisis financially, but, the bigger picture men do not see,
Many losing the lifestyle they knew, with a darker future, only in view,
The many blind to their moral decay, so prevalent in this world today.
Some looking for a quick fix indeed, knowing there’s a deeper need,
Legislating issues to be solved, as the deeper issues go unresolved,
The very issues creating such woe, relating to places they do not go,
Avoiding the facts that lie ahead; feeding us political rhetoric instead.
The proverbial blind leading the blind, leaving moral principles behind,
Leaders appeasing a liberal crowd; the mention of God never allowed,
Rewarding men not pulling their load, putting many on a slippery road,
Taxing the rich to sustain the poor; only making all, worse than before.
A road where God is pushed aside, and the future for all is quantified,
By the darkened wisdom of man, bringing to light a much darker plan,
By taking the wealth of just a few, then dividing it among me and you,
Rewarding those who labor not; sharing the funds from one large pot.
God smiles upon men who labor, looking on their diligence with favor,
Not upon those who do not work, by rewarding men with a social perk.
If they scoff at God here and now, what’ll happen as leaves are brown?
As men’s dark plans cease to be, in a land that is filled with instability.
The time filling hearts with rage, will begin to turn God’s end time page,
When governments of all the world, shall see the darkest plan unfurled,
With man’s attempt at world unity, proposing to all universal prosperity,
Only to end in great catastrophe, with the return of The God of Eternity.

That's what governors do, they wrestle with the issues, they find solutions and they move the agenda forward. At the appropriate time we'll talk about all of these issues, while remembering that our party is a big tent party. We lose when we try to become exclusive to one particular set of issues.

And so popular culture raises issues that are very important, actually, in the country I think. You get issues of the First Amendment rights and issues of drug use, issues of AIDS, and things like that all arise naturally out of pop culture.

I never let politics get personal. You can have the most intense, heated debate on issues, and so long as you keep it on issues, you can go out and have coffee afterwards and you're good friends.

Issues
For all, issues arise every day in every shape and size.
You must deal with all of them in ways that are wise.
For some you are glad while others make you mad.
Lucky for you, but a few, are in themselves, truly sad.
Worst of all are issues that you alone cause to be bad.
Before your presence there was no problem to be had.
Love, family and health are key issues of each day,
Though issues of money and power hinder your way.
If not addressed these infections will spread and may
Kill the love you have and result in a life of dismay.

I mean, it's fun for us to talk about issues. You know, there's no one issue we spend a lot of time on probably, because he gets to do that all day with somebody else who's a lot more expert at issues than I am.

When you raise issues with the President, try to come away with both that decision and also a precedent. Pose issues so as to evoke broader policy guidance. This can help to answer a range of similar issues likely to arise later.

Against The Family
Every family has one or two, members who don’t agree with you,
About many issues in this life, who lead conversations into strife.
Tensions they seem to manifest, putting differing wills to the test,
Which can be cut with a knife, while they talk of issues in this life.
They fill a family visit with stress, with subjects that they address,
Friction caused can’t be denied, as they push moral beliefs aside,
Subjects they consider to be gray, within this darker, present day.
Their amoral views they don’t hide, as they live on the darker side.
Debating and despising Truth, as they cast at you strong reproof,
The real truth of the matter though, it is really a spiritual undertow.
As they become further deceived, rejecting the Truth we received,
An evil current by a deadly foe, tainting all they believe and know.
They are blind and cannot see, God’s Truths or the eternal enemy,
Who fills them with consternation, regarding any spiritual situation,
Hardening hearts so they can’t see, Truth from the God of Eternity,
Keeping them of His Revelation, to hinder them from His Salvation.
All to deter them from Jesus Christ, who gives to men Eternal Life.
Truth from them he tries to hide, so The Lord and Savior is denied,
So that they shall never know, the Lord above, who loves them so,
And never come to the Salvation, given by the God of all Creation.

The Myth of Male Power dealt much more with the political issues, the legal issues, sexual harassment, date rape, women who kill, and those issues were very much more interfaced with the agendas of feminism.
