If you are open minded and naturally curious, please keep in mind that each side of an issue may not deserve equal time or even be valid. Learn to weed through the muck and learn to follow the money to see who proposed what and where their funding comes from.
If you tend to be closed minded and naturally suspicious, please keep in mind some people will speak from their hearts (not typically our leaders) and everyone has an opinion. Also, every party has an agenda (including our beloved Libertarians), but that does not mean they are evil, weak, strong, sensitive or insensitive. This agenda often includes preaching to the choir to support the things you already know or have taken for granted (money is the root of all evil, blondes have more fun.......... whatever).
Political parties are like corporations, they can behave like psychopaths. Be wary, be very wary, but most of all make up your own mind and get involved.
