GOP Pollster: Stop Talking about Rape:
It's way past time: House Republicans need to stop talking about rape.

That's the message GOP lawmakers got here Wednesday evening from Kellyanne Conway, a top GOP pollster.

Conway dispensed the stern advice as part of a polling presentation she made alongside fellow GOP pollsters David Winston — an adviser to House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) — and Dave Sackett. The comment was described by several sources in the room.

Conway said rape is a "four-letter word," and Republicans simply need to stop talking about it in their races for office.
That is obviously just a perfect solution. Definitely keep your vile, ignorant, disgraceful, indecent, reprehensible, colossally contemptible attitudes and opinions about rape exactly the same, but just don't tell anyone about it. Genius.
