Sidney Said:

Is Lieberman Still Technically A Member of the Democratic Party or Did He Officially Withdraw his Membership?

We Answered:

Senator Lieberman is technically still listed as an "Independent" ; however, for purposes of the organization of the US Senate, he aligns himself with the Democrats, as does Bernie Sanders of Vermont, the other "independent". They both sit on the Democratic side of the Senate chamber among the Democrats, and they hold positions in the Senate committee and subcommittee assignments like Democrats. Lieberman could change his party affiliation any time he wished, just by filing a paper in Connecticut and registering to vote as a Democrat. It would not affect his position--he is still US Senator from Connecticut for several more years no matter what party label he wears.

You asked if he is still a "card-carrying member of the Democratic Party". Since the Democratic Party does not register members, or give out membership cards, the question is irrelevant. In all of the states, a person "becomes" a Democrat just by registering to vote as one; he doesn't have to register with the party. Party membership in the US is not like the Labor Party or Conservative Party in Britain, or Communist Party in some other countries. You don't "join" a Party as such in America by paying dues, or agreeing to a fixed platform or manifesto.
