That's really how people should think. I think it's somewhat dangerous to associate one's morality, ideology, or whatever based on a particular party's stance. We should try to be informed (which includes looking into both sides of issues) and make our own reasonable conclusions based on what we feel is right and wrong. I suppose it is a challenge though as it seems the country is becoming more and more polarized, and information is often biased.
