    :mad: UGH. Have you seen the ads for this piece of propaganda-garbage?
    HBO keeps running it.
    I'm going to cancel HBO.
    I don't want to be paying for this bunk.
    If leftists didn't have double standards, they'd have no standards at all.

    I have HBO for the movies, Big Love and True Blood. I don't watch all their other crap.

    I don't have political issues with any channel - if I don't like something, I change the channel - but we have a premium movie package that we don't use much. We're cancelling HBO/Encore/Starz/Cinemax because the package is $25/month on top of our regular cable bill. We can get a lot more movies from Netflix. :) I haven't seen a compelling need to keep HBO since The Sopranos ended.

    Help out GOL and tell them your canceling because of 'by the people'

    I don't even know what that is, so, no.

    The whole title is "By The People: The Election of Barack Obama"

    I do not have any Premium Channels but I thought that True Blood was on Showtime.

    Doesn't sound like something I would have watched.

    Nope. There's enough chrome-plated crap on regular cable, why would I pay extra for more? ;)
