I don't see the logical in registring to vote? Why just don't have a system where everyone just can vote?

to make sure you only vote once, only US citizens are allowed to vote. It would be messy if everything was verified on election day. Also registered voters gives the administration information on how many people will vote so they can make the appropriate arrangments and have the necessary equipment. if they assume everyone will vote, but a lot of people dont vote, they waste a lot of money with the extra facilities and equipment that wont be used.

That way the Republicans will never lose an election. They will just conjure figures.

We need tax hikes with 9 trillion in deficit, and that should mostly be for the rich. You sir are uninformed.

Okay first of, a deficit isn't that bad, its bad for countries like Canada or other developed countries that are not as powerful. Any first year economics course will tell you that.

Second, Obama isn't for tax hikes across the board. Go to his website, tax cuts for middle income families.

Thirdly, Mccain is for tax cuts for everyone, and yet he still wants to fund a war, that is completely fiscally irresponsible.

It seems you are not well-informed. The fact is that Mr. Obama is not for affirmative action based on race but on economic class.

I agree with you 100 percent. Senator Obama will be the next ONE (President).

What is your prove about your comments? Also, you may use his title Senator Obama. I do not believe you are a member of his family to call him by his last name alone. I would appreciate if people can be respect for what people has earned.
