 Political Biography:

With a Conservative Republican mother and a Liberal Democrat father, I suppose a Moderate Liberal daughter was bound to be the turnout. I find that as I explore the beliefs of each political party, I am torn. On one hand, I agree with the social policies of the Democraatic party, and on the other hand I side more with the economic principles of the Republican party. I believe that there are two sides to every arguement, and the inability to listen and try to understand the opposition's view point will only hinder the ability to gain valuable knowledge about an unfamiliar subject. Everyone should learn to open their minds to the ideas and opinions of others, because this can lead to innovations and movements that shape history. I value the free flow of communication and I know that I have much to learn, so I appreciate hearing others opinions. I'm hoping that this will help me firm up the parts of my belief system that are unsure!
