329. No I am saying you are parroting their illogical point:
The point being that only "the elite" have the ability to participate in the political process. The only difference between you and Limbaugh et al is the political process that you are targeting. They speak of protests, you speak of caucuses.

While I do not doubt that it is more difficult (or at least more of a hardship) for lower income folks to take a day off work, I DO doubt very seriously that this somehow indicates that they have a different opinion as a group on the issue at hand. Whether that issue be global warming or who they support for the Democratic nomination. One has nothing to do with the other. The fact of the matter is that Obama has raised more money from more individual small contributors than any candidate in history. I think that is a pretty good indicator of broad support from the "common man."

Not to mention that not only has Obama won more Caucuses, he won more primaries. He is the front runner because more people VOTED for him.
