Please correct me if I'm wrong: Joe Lieberman is explicitly NOT a Democrat. He is a CFfLer (Connecticut for Lieberman)-er or an Independent. Or god, if we must, an 'Independent-Democrat.' But not a Democrat.
The recent Time piece (see below) about Lieberman flirting with party-switching that as of this writing is the 2nd 'most popular' article on the website, works on the claim that Lieberman is a Democrat. But I thought he was not. He explicitly, deliberately rejected the Democratic party--he lost the nomination, and ran as an independent in his state in '06. He may caucus with the Democrats (like Bernie Sanders), but he is not a Democrat.
Am I mistaken? Is it more complicated than this? Because if I am not wrong, then the media establishment is, and continually repeats this inaccurate message. What should do we do about this continual media inaccuracy?
