Looking at a political map the the USA 2008: the blue states form around both coasts, across much of the north, and some of the Great Lakes region.
The blue states are home to Wall Street, Hollywood, Silicon Valley, the Automobile industry, the wine country, Microsoft, Disneyland, Manhattan, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, in fact most of America's economic powerhouse cities.
Nevertheless, America's right wing media repeatedly paint a grim picture of Democrats as unemployed, lazy, unmotivated people who would rather pick up a free check than put in a hard day's work.
What drives this contradiction? Why, if the blue states are carrying America's economy while the red states are in the economic doldrums, are Democrats labeled the anti-business party?
This is our favorite enigma. The one we will work to shatter, once and for all.
The ranks of the Democratic Party may include schoolteachers, public sector workers and other less wealthy groups. They also include many business school graduates, lawyers, stockbrokers and technology managers. Some of the greatest minds and highest earning individuals in America are devoted Democrats. They lead by example and contribute enormously to internal revenue as they do to community initiatives, charities and schools.
We believe in an America built on higher standards. Education and Healthcare both get an F today. They both should be straight A students.
