Small government Democrats?

6. No...but I know that they want less government and balanced budgets.

To me, those are unacceptable ideological positions for a Democrat, the same as I consider large parts of the DLC agenda to be anti-Democratic.

Also, I think it's necessary to encourage people whose ideological positions are anti-Democratic, but at-least sane and moderate to join the GOP so that as a bloc, they can pull the GOP back over the cliff towards sanity so that it's possible to get the critical and important things done via compromise. Things like debt-ceiling increases and budgets. It'd be nice if the DLCers and theoretical "small-government Democrats" could do that for us...leave and make the GOP sane again.
