State Senator Mimi Walters ran one of the most racist political campaigns in recent history when she defeated Anaheim Councilman Harry Sidhu in 2008. Now she has announced that she is running for California State Treasurer, according to the Sacramento Bee.
Walters had this to say about the incumbent, Democrat Bill Lockyer, he is “out of touch and out of ideas.”
Really? In October of last year, Lockyer took a very brave stand against the waste that is public employee pensions, according to the Calpensions website:
Lockyer, who sits on both the CalPERS and CalSTRS public pension boards, got the attention of his listeners during a legislative hearing yesterday. “It’s impossible for this Legislature to reform the pension system, and if we don’t it will bankrupt the state,” is the Lockyer quote jotted down by one observer.
It sure doesn’t look like Lockyer is as out of ideas as Walters would like us to believe!

There is no way I can back the Mexican-hating Walters. Lockyer has my full support.
Here are just a few of the racist mailers that Walters sent out in 2008:
I really don’t know who I will vote for, but tell me, what is so bad about enforcing immigration enforcement at the jail? If that’s all you have against Walters your case is pretty weak given the illegal immigration problem existent in our State and Nation today.
What’s with the Mexican bashing? Isn’t it true that 52% of California is Latino? Do you all seriously think you can strip away basic human rights and THE LATINO VOTING BLOC WON’T REMEMBER YOU? Get a clue people. Or move to the inferno that is Arizona.
Mexicans don’t vote
Illegals and their kids are not supose to be here. Every day there here their breaking the law. Every one including latinos that have came into the unites states legally are and have earned the right to be here. They are our American people. Any one who comes here illegally and any one who covenents them are criminals and are no better than child molesters and rapists. the law is the law and our American people have been speaking agianst illegal immigrants for years. Our government and politicians betray us each day they do nothing to protect our people.
Wake up Americans we need to unite and fight to get our America back.
Send the illegals packing.
Okay first of all, coming here to America is the greatest gift of all to those who come here legally and illegally. Undocumented Immigrants are coming here for the same purpose your ancestors came down here for. If I had to chose from raising my family in a corrupted country with crooked cops and a government who wont do anything to help. I would do whatever it takes to leave the country next door anytime! People come here first illegally and then they do all they can to get what they’ve always wanted, The American Dream! Look I know its wrong to be here illegally, but you have to think twice about this. Its not that I’m saying your being racist, which a lot of people are (like I said, I’m not calling you out), just put yourself in there position. Its not easy getting a green card/visa/residency/citizenship. How can Mexicans/South-Central Americans afford getting there papers fixed, when the prices are so high and the process is so long, expensive lawyers, and complicated paperwork. So of course they’ll come here first, work doing jobs no one else wants to do. Even though the US economy is so bad, not even “Americans” will do them. Then they’ll save up for there papers, send money to there family over seas, and a place to stay. You can’t just send Families back to there country. They are already here! they Struggled so much! families are being torn apart because of deportations. can you imagine the feeling at such a young age losing your loved ones? think about it. you can’t blame the ones especially if they’ve been here since they were 1-16 years old. They’re used to being here. They love it here! so why not give them what they deserve since they got there HS Diploma? Look up The Dream Act.
Out of 52% latino how much of that percentage is legal. Was citizenship earned by applying for citizenship before coming into this country?
I hope all the 52% is that would be wonderfull.
Thats the way its supose to work.
It’s true – the problem is that Lats are 50% of the population, but they make up only 15% to 20% of the voters. Lats slack on voting, and predictably get screwed.
Classically, Lats have lagged way behind whites (and even blacks) on voter reg. Whites are around 90% registered (eligible voters), while Latinos are around 60%. Then, compound that with lousy turnout numbers, and you’ve got a population with a lot of media, a lot of protesters, but, perhaps aside from Asians, are the worst at going and voting.
The 2008 elections really almost closed the gap, with a 7% gap between white and Latino voter registration (see wcvi.org).
But, in 2008, the Asian vote went from the normal 7% up to 10%, so Asians improved turnout dramatically (from the normally pathetic 50%), getting a bigger slice of the voting pie.
This upcoming election will be a test of the Latino vote. The question is whether they are engaged voters, or just interested in the high-profile presidential vote. The fact that the high profile candidates are all wealthy white people should help minimise any racial or class biases.
Whites, Blacks, Latinos, Asians, Middle Eastern, etc. We are all human. who cares if Latinos are the majority of the population. Did you forget that we are literally right next door to a bunch of Latin American Countries?! If Europe or Africa were next door to us, the same would be happening! So get over it. If you don’t like it, then YOU can leave and go back to where you LITERALLY CAME FROM! and we’ll help you build the Mayflower too! yeah it doesn’t feel good does it…
