"I haven't seen HBO's latest effort at manipulating history. However, based upon the description and reports from people who have viewed the film Game Change, HBO has distorted, twisted and invented facts to create a false narrative and attract viewers. They call it a docu-drama, there is little "docu" in it. HBO must add a disclaimer that this movie is fiction." -Tim Crawford, Treasurer SarahPAC
Pay channel HBO has produced another docudrama based on the political arena. This time it is a subscription-only television movie sensationalizing 40 pages of a three-year-old book about the 2008 presidential election. The real 2008 Election was an incredible, moving experience that brought together the nation to celebrate our democracy. HBO has taken that experience and twisted it into tabloid drama for its own profit.
The docudrama Game Change has not been released, but the content and clips available and scenes as reported by the media make it clear that HBO studio heads decided they would generate more profit by inventing facts and scenes for the purpose of fictionalizing a history written by people with no personal knowledge of the situations they attempt to depict.
After viewing the Game Change trailers purporting to show actual events from the campaign, we sifted through over 2,000 behind-the-scenes photos of actual events, people and moments.
Below is an inside look at those moments which were captured from September to November 2008 and encompass over 95 rallies in 19 states, three major policy speeches, numerous town halls, four meetings with Blue Star Moms, two hockey games and as many unscheduled stops as we were able to fit in the schedule.
This is the Game Change you can believe in, because it actually happened.

Just called and cancelled my HBO for good! They were not at all happy about it when I told them why. Offered 25% off the next 6 months if I stayed.
How I wish she would run. But that train has left the station.
Good! You’ve made a excellent choice. I canceled it 13 years ago or so and no regrets.
I wish it too. She will be in the fight if not the race though.
Timed for her run for the Nomination.
Too bad she ruined it for the haters.
GO SARAH!
The funds raised in these FReepathons go to pay our current quarter expenses. But we're also going to try to replace some of our older servers and failing equipment this year so we're going to add a little extra to our FReepathon goals. John is estimating ten to fifteen thousand to do this and I'd like to get it all in place and working before the election cycle is fully heated up, so we'll try to bring in a little extra now, if we can, and the rest next quarter.

I’d dump HBO, but I already dumped it long ago just because of the presence of that subhuman cretin Bill Maher. No way in hell would I allow that network on my tv-screen as long as that degenerate piece of filth is featured on it.
We’ll be auditioning for GOP nominees in 2016 to compete against Obama’s successor. Maybe she’ll run then.
Don’t make the mistake of fighting a conventional war- it’s past that, FRiend.
At the risk of sounding cliche’, it’s time for a paradigm shift.
Win, lose or draw there is a fight ahead for the Republic.
Worst case is what- we die?
Onyx, I am so glad you have this ping list. It always brings me cheer.
Win, lose or draw there is a fight ahead for the Republic.

You’re right. In that fight, I’ll be standing with Sarah.
:-)
YES!
GO SARAH
She sure has been making the rounds on Fox. What do you think is going on?
Thanks onyx.
I can’t figure that one out but I sure am enjoying it!
