CRANSTON, R.I -- Ivan G. Marte, chairman of the Rhode Island Republican Hispanic Assembly, says he has quit the GOP out of embarrassment at South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson's outburst during President Obama's address to Congress last week.
Wilson shouted 'You Lie,' when Obama remarked that illegal immigrants would not receive benefits under his health care plan.
"I do not want to continue being a member of a party in which the members of the party express themselves in that way," said Marte, 59, of Cranston. In a phone interview, he called Wilson's behavior "shameful" and "uncivilized."
But Marte said Wilson's outburst was the last straw in a series of disappointments that led him to break with his party.
Marte became "disenchanted" with Governor Carcieri after the Republican governor sought his advice -- and then ignored it, Marte said -- concerning the 2008 executive order cracking down on illegal immigration. Carcieri's order angered many in the Hispanic community.

Don’t let the door hit you in the nalgas on your way out.
C-YA!!!!
Sounds like all the PTA organizations I’ve known over the years. :)
He was probably tired of not being invited to all the “good” parties.
Which way is that?
The telling the truth way?
“In a phone interview, he called Wilson's behavior “shameful” and “uncivilized.” “
Naaaah.
You Mr Marte are the one who should be ashamed, for being a racist, and backing law breakers and liars.
“But Marte said Wilson's outburst was the last straw in a series of disappointments that led him to break with his party.”
Don't let the door hit ya on your way out.
Good riddance to bad rubbish. Why do we even let these LaRaza type vermin into the Republican Party anyways?
“Marte became “disenchanted” with Governor Carcieri after the Republican governor sought his advice — and then ignored it, Marte said — concerning the 2008 executive order cracking down on illegal immigration”
Now we come to the crux of the matter. This fool wants the laws of this country to be broken at will, by Latino illegal immigrants who continue to rape and plunder this country at will, without fear of consequences. Thanks, but no thanks.
Hit the road la raza.
LLS
I wish all of these types of Republicans would leave the party. They are an embarrassment. Joe Wilson may have been out of line but he was not wrong and it is brave men and women who choose to stand alone against great evil that change the world for the better. It is easy to be apart of the hoard and serve the beast of Washington. It would’ve been easy for William Tell to bow to the King. It would’ve been easy for the colonists to capitulate to Britain or the world to capitulate the the dominance of Germany and Japan. There are countless examples of heroism in the history the world and while all that Joe Wilson did was stand up and make his voice heard and speak the truth to power. It is when good men will not silenced that evil cowers and those who laugh at the idea that this nation faces a great evil do not know the definition of it. They are being head faked with words like “civilization” and ideas of doing “what is best for everyone”, “helping the poor” and of course the “there are the children”. All the while they want to ignore that the very ideas that are being proposed are diametrically opposed to the ideas of self determinism and liberty that has since its founding made this country unique.
That said I wonder if this Hispanic Assembly man ever rebuked the leftists radicals? Did he call Harry Reid uncivilized when he was rude to President Bush like? I think not. These moderate “Republicans” seem not to notice any of the offenses of the left. Their voices are always strangely absent when 9-11 truther czars are sitting in the White House. They only raise their voices when it comes to striking out at the party they claim allegiance to. They are not moral lights and advocates of reason but cowards who would take pleasure in beating their own momma before fending off her attackers.
I don’t know what made them Republicans but it clearly was not the conservative principles upon which this country was founded.
“...Ivan G. Marte, chairman of the Rhode Island Republican Hispanic Assembly...”
HOLY COW! Yikes the CHAIRMAN is out? NOW what are Rhode Island Hispanic people to do?! Move to New Hampshire?
PLEASE tell me that the RI Republican Hispanic Assembly’s Deputy Chief of Office Supplies will quickly take to ensure continued service to consituents.
This is Hugh AND Series!
What a feminine hygiene product...
Yep these guys never were with us. They were just hanging out eating the food.
A typical Rhode Island Hispanic Republican.
1 Rhode Island
2 RINO
3 looking for excuse to be elected in a liberal left wing state.
4 the state who brought us jumpin jim jeffords.
I know what you mean. I wish all of his ilk would leave the party. Let him go kiss Obama’s liberal butt and grovel before his king. Some people desire and like being enslaved and dependent on the goodwill of their kings.
Good Riddance.
I DON’T CARE WHAT YOU ARE! Real Americans need a voice, and not a voice for one specific group.
I agree, Bravo! WE the people of the United States!
I think he’s allowing ethnic loyalty to trump principle.
Jim Jeffords was from Vermont. You are thinking of Lincoln Chaffee.
Don’t let the door hit you in the ash pal. It takes much more courage than you apparently have to be a GOPer in the Bluest state of all. You want to put illegal moochers over America? I’m sure you’ll fight a home in the Democrat party scram!
LOL! That’s exactly the way I have always pictured the ‘Rats. None of this cute fuzzy critter bit!
In any case, I’d say that the GOP doesn’t need the idiot Marte and he did the party a favor by leaving office.
