If it's okay with everyone here I'll wait until I see Wynn's 2012 political contributions before I declare him saved, sanctified and a brother conservative.
Do you see any evidence he was a “big Obama supporter” in 08?
That was the claim.
Maybe his company should stop funding homo-day parades.
HEY! CHAMBLISS ISN'T A RI ... never mind, yeah he is.
