I am a registered democrat and I welcome Senator Lieberman and any other free thinking politician to the party. I don't want to belong to a party that has a uniform agenda and a strategic voting block. That is what Republicans do.
I welcome dissent, but what Liberman has done is undermine the party, not dissent. He ran as a Democrat in NH and lost and instead of respecting the wishes of Democrats he ran as independent. Now, he is siding with Republicans on all the major issues, and is stumping for John McCain who's entire platform is contradictory to Democratic values.
He turned his back on the Democrats the second he was ousted by Ned Lamont. He is no longer a Democrat IMO and should be booted from the party for he decided to be an Independant Republican a while ago.

Lieberman lost a primary and ran as an independent in his home state. Ned Lamont lost in the general election by a vast amount. Joe Lieberman still holds many progressive principles but does believe in the Iraq war. I may not agree with his stance on the war, but I can't fault him for holding true to his convictions. From what I have gathered he still holds progressive ideals.
Both political parties can go jump in the lake wearing cement shoes.
