I like ti know the exact meaning of "How not to win friends and influence Republicans"?
How not to win friends and influence Republicans
What won't John McCain and Mitt Romney find to fight about?
Yesterday Bob Dole -- wounded World War II vet, long-serving Republican U.S. senator from Kansas, failed presidential contender -- sent out a letter to talk radio host Rush Limbaugh defending McCain's conservative credentials, much in challenge by Limbaugh and other conservative microphones. _________________ Hiromichi |

There is a famous book titled How to Win Friends & Influence People by Dale Carnegie. It teaches you how to get people to like you and trust you. The title of the article you mentioned is a parody of that famous book title to show that John McCain is doing the exact opposite of that famous book. During his campaign for president, he is perceived as attacking the conservative base of the Republican Party to which he belongs. |
