here at DU. 
The selection of Ryan has made 'em nervous, so they're doing their best to make the Obama/Ryan equivalency, albeit a false one. They know seniors are gonna lose their shit as they learn about Paul Ryan's plans for SS/Medicare, so the Rovemeister has sent out the alert to his henchmen to DIVERT! DIVERT! DIVERT! It's almost fun to watch "internet Democrats" as they flail about, trying to turn us against the president.
One thing they're right about though, is that according to Gallup conservatives outnumber liberals by 2 to 1 (40% conservative; 35% moderate & 21% liberal). The icky middle (centrists) outnumber liberals. Aside from typing angry screeds on internet forums, what do liberals intend to do to shift public opinion in their direction? And by the way, center left seems to work for 83% of Dems (PO's approval #), so the noise coming from the 17% is just that. Noise! 
Hard Right Republicans Outnumber Hard Left Democrats
A much higher proportion of Republicans call themselves "very conservative" or "conservative" (71%) than Democrats call themselves "very liberal" or "liberal" (38%). Democrats are as likely to call themselves moderates as liberals.
