Sarah Palin Hits Back at HBO With ‘Game Change We Can Believe In’

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is hitting back at the upcoming HBO film “Game Change” with a video of her own, calling it “fiction” that “presents a history that never happened.”
Titled “Game Change We Can Believe In,” the nearly three-minute video zeroes in on actress Julianne Moore’s portrayal of Palin. It begins with Moore answering the phone, “This is Sarah,” and blasts back with the words, “No — this is Sarah” before moving to clips of Palin speeches and interviews.
“Game Change,” which premieres March 10, is based on the best-selling book of the same name about the 2008 presidential election. Written by journalists Mark Halperin and John Heilemann, the book devotes equal time to both the Democratic and Republican campaigns, but snippets of the HBO film released have focused almost exclusively on Palin. The trailer goes as far as to depict her as being on the “verge of a complete nervous breakdown” after being selected as John McCain’s running mate.
According to USA Today, Palin’s political action committee has asked HBO to air the film with the disclaimer that the work is fiction. HBO is standing by the film as “a balanced portrayal of the McCain/Palin campaign.”

Posted on March 2, 2012 at 6:00pmall of us quit HBO in Nov 2008. they made it clear whose obama-unAmerican side of the fence they were on, and we choose not to pay an American red cent to ANY obamacommunists. we all quit paying to see their obamacommunist Hollywood movies too, so the obamadegenerates are losing Thou$and$ annually in revenue from this huge extended American Christian Conservative Veterans family.

Posted on March 2, 2012 at 6:00pmIf Sarah had a nervous breakdown it was because John McCain turned out to be a wussie candidate. She had to carry the load. He did not have the cajones to go head to head with Obama and he let the Dems run all over him. Sarah is the only reason I voted for him. Tiny Fey’s portrayal of Sarah make people think she was an idiot. Ms. Fey IS an idiot and she’s the one who said she could see Alaska from her front porch. I can see the lack of brain when I look into her ear.

Posted on March 2, 2012 at 7:24pmI agree with you 110%. McCain didn’t even take up for her as the liberals and rinos attacked her from all sides. He’s a despicable little man whose been riding on his war hero status for far too long. He may have been a brave hero in Viet Nam … but he’s an idiot now.

Posted on March 2, 2012 at 8:26pmI only voted the RiNO McCain too because of Sarah. I never watch hockumentaries from the likes of HBO so didn’t even play the clip. Still, I’m angry at Sarah for not running herself. The ones that are left are hard pills to swallow but, for the primaries anyway, I can still pull the lever for Santorum else won’t vote in the primaries at all. :)

Posted on March 2, 2012 at 10:07pmPalin did a great job as a PTA president and then later as mayor of Wassilla. After that she rose to her level of incompetence although I have to admit she’s a dynamic speaker. And she makes tons of money now as an attractive contributer for FOX and speaking at conservative events. I wish I had a nickle for every time she said “common sense conservatism” whatever that means! But, sorry Palin fans, she’s never going anywhere else.

Posted on March 2, 2012 at 11:36pmFriends, I have to admit I think Palin is hot, not only for her looks and shape but for her fire. She’s a natural and dynamic speaker. I think she has some brains, but knowledge of the world, and understanding the philosophical underpinnings of conservative thought, not so much, no matter how many times she says she’s in favor of “common sense conservatism” whatever that means.
She looks good and gives a good speech, but she’s more Homer Simpson than William F. Buckley.

If true, you couldn’t blame her. They ALL knew about Obama (under threats to their lives?):
“Barack Hussein Obama killed his grandmother”
http://www.libertylounge.net/forums/37215-barack-hussein-obama-killed-his-grandmother.html
“Obama flies to Hawaii to visit his grandmother and just a few days later she winds up dead. Coincidence? Perhaps. But consider this. There was one person on Earth who could blow the lid off of Obama’s dirty little secret, and right before the election no less; I am talking, of course, about the fact that he was not born in America and is thus not a United States citizen and not qualified to run for office.
Report Post »“Don’t believe me? Take a look at this link:
‘Democrat: Obama‘s grandma confirms Kenyan birth’ [10/23/2008]
http://www.wnd.com/2008/10/78931/
“Obama knew he had to stop this info from leaking at a time when it was so crucial for him to look good in the eyes of the world; so what did he do about it? He silenced the one person who could leak the info, most likely by a slow acting poison that would take effect once he safely left Hawaii and was back in the continental US and thus out of the line of suspicion.”

Posted on March 2, 2012 at 5:57pmHBO? Who is HBO? Is it a channel or a network…or what? I have never watched it…and I never will. Oh, and I”m happy, self employed, and love my kids. And as for Sarah Palin… um, what’s up with you and Newt? The guy is the biggest insider ever. Yes he can win Obama or anyone else in a debate…and he talks a very big vision… and delivers a very big price tag. This guy won’t shrink anything.. just look at his ego.
Romney isn’t flashy, charismatic or…a Washington Insider. He will get in..turn it around by cutting it down… and then he will get out. It’s what he does. I don’t need him to sing or dance or be clever… I just need him to get in there and fix it.

Palin is not strong she is a whiner who plucks at the heart strings of woman who only wish they had the ability to be more than they are willing to be. Sara is where she needs to be OUT OF MIND OUT OF SIGHT. She is upset that people made a movie based on how she actually is not who she pretends to be. Her tour was a bust, her child made a joke of her ‘Family Values’ she quit on Alaska, and now she want to whine about a movie that protrays her for what she is, a JOKE.
