Why are the GOP red and the DNC blue anyway??? Any history on this?

Yes. As to it's political significance, I'm pretty sure it goes along
the lines of red is a male dominate color (as in fire, blood, hunting,
etc.) and blue is a feminine color (as in the color of depth for
instance and in Egyptology, the color most associated with Amun and in
Christian doctrine, St. Mary).

Which, if broken down, red is a more aggressive color which can be
viewed as a negative and blue is a more positive color which can be
viewed as a positive.

From that point you can probably extrapolate why the colors were used
by the nets for thief graphics. [1]
