Politically biased Genes

Research is being conducted to determine whether we are born with politically biased genes. The thought is that the way we think about politics and how we vote is ingrained in our genes. Others are very skeptical about this research and I'm a bit the same, as it seems a bit hard to believe something like this would be genetically inherited.

Could Political Bent be Genetic?
"Politics may not be in your blood, but it may be in your genes.
A team of scientists is trying to prove that social attitudes -- including political attitudes -- can be inherited.
And the research they base that on, consisting of extensive studies of twins and genes, may back that up. A study found that identical twins frequently answered political questions more similarly than fraternal twins." CBN
