Rep. Ivan Marte Resigns Over Joe Wilson Truth!
Common Sense 2020 ^ | 2009-09-21 | ATLASFREED

The chairman of the Rhode Island Republican Hispanic Assembly and member of the Republican Central Committee, Ivan Marte, says he has quit the GOP because he was embarrassed by South Carolina Representative Joe Wilson’s outburst during President Obama’s address to Congress on September 9th.

Wilson shouted “You lie,” when President Obama said illegal immigrants would not receive benefits under his health care plan.

Ivan Marte tells The Providence Journal that Wilson’s behavior was “shameful” and “uncivilized.”

This only substantiates the accusation that “the GOP has no balls”.

Uncivilized? Please!

He should spend some time observing English Parliment.

Go Joe Go

If this isn’t a joke, the GOP certainly hasn’t lost anyone worth having.

Another success added to Karl Rove’s sellout to the latino community. Congratulations, Karl. Great job.

With a name like Ivan, you’ll be more at home in the Kremlin, or the Obama administration anyway. You have how many GOP Congressmen in Massachusetts? Hasta la vista! Bob

Go Joe Go

Were at the DC Rally on 912? Waves of cheers frequently spanned the enormous crowd from the Washington monument to the Capital. "Go Joe Go" was a common one.

Those waves of cheers were an exciting part of the event for me. "USA" ... "You Lie" ... etc.

Of course, it was perfectly civil for scores of dems to “boo” President Bush during his 2005 Inaugural Address. Where was Ivan then???
