"Red blooded" doesn't refer to conservativism or the Republican party and "blue blooded" has nothing to do with liberalism or the Democratic party. "Blue blood" refers to aristocracy, or noble blood, and "red blooded" means that you're spirited or strong-willed. As a generalization, red doesn't even represent conservatives and blue liberals, but rather red is typically associated with liberals and blue with conservatives. Referring to Republican states as "red states" and Democratic states as "blue states" wasn't even a thing until the 2000 election, as which color represented which states has often changed over the years. In at least some US elections, Republican states were depicted blue and Democratic states as red, and the color scheme hasn't become standardized until just the past decade.
Anyway, unless Democrats are aristocracy, they aren't "blue blooded". In fact, any spirited Democrats would fit the term "red blooded" just as well as Republican counterparts.
For sure there's no one with any sack back east, just lots of blue blood, democrats that pander to minorities to get votes. (that should lock this one)
