Romney names former Utah gov. to lead potential transition [Polygamy rearing ugly head]
CNN ^ | June 4, 2012

Mitt Romney has named former Utah Gov. Mike Leavitt to lead his presidential transition team should he win November's general election, the Republican presidential candidate's campaign confirmed Monday.

-SNIP-

Leavitt, Romney's pick to lead a potential transition, was elected governor of Utah in 1992, and went on to hold the office for ten years. He was governor of the state when Romney headed the Salt Lake City Olympic Organizing Committee in 2002.

In 2003 Leavitt was nominated by President George W. Bush to serve as administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. He later became Bush's Secretary of Health and Human Services.

PS It’s hard to be a prophet. Nobody likes you. Just ask John the Baptist.

Indeed!

Much better to just wear the VICTIM mantle.

I prefer this site but I temporarily sought refuge over there for the way I was treated (and am still being treated) here.

Having had to put up with the look down your nose admonitions of some posters for quite some time, I must say, I’m kind of enjoying this.

I don’t want you to remove me from your ping list. As you surely know, I am not voting for Romney and we should be allies.

OK. I give. You are back on the ping list.

But you should realize that you will be pinged to mormon threads.

Curse not the king, no not in thy thought;

for a bird of the air shall carry the voice,

I know what I heard and can not tell you how to find it. You’re a genius on internet, very smart, and I am sure you can find it if you set your mind to it.

Attribute to me what you wish, as I can not put a sock in pie eater.

I believe Romney MAY be a player in his “church” as easily as he is a player in the Republican Party. I think he is a Democrat in spades.

You don’t.
You believe him.
You believe he is devoutly Mormon.
You believe his titles prove it.

Your problem is I don’t care what his titles are, or what Mormons SAY they believe, or IF they believe. There is enough political reason to oppose this empty suit of Romney, without the extra homework for me belaboring details about his cult.

This horse is dead. Further beating of it has ended.

His life proves his devotion to his faith, his being one of the most elite 15% of the most devout Mormons proves his faith.

What are you using to deny it with, your fake quote that doesn't say anything?

“you don’t have to believe everything..."

That isn't even a real quote, and what if it was, it doesn't say anything, but you made it up.

Romney has excommunicated people, he knows what his religion is.

Funny, but my current “hatred” for Romney is identical to my “hatred” for Romney and Rudy in 2008 and my “hatred” for Obama in 2008 and now. Or could my opposition be due to their shared records of abortionism, homosexualism, statism, etc?

%:) You are funny! Thank you. LOL! I am just here ducking pings, and defending my right to be an ignoramous on Mormonism, and my opinion that Romney cares little about anything, but for being an overachiever in all settings, including his cult, and fielding the lectures being screamed in capital letters. LOL! I only have one black eye, so far. :)

You are arguing from a position of knowledge of Mormonism.

You are trying to make the claim that Romney is a bad Mormon, an insincere Mormon, undeserving of his status within the religion, a weak Mormon like Ted Kennedy was a less than perfect Catholic, at least on a couple of things.

Romney is always in practice with his religion, he is always a devout, devoted believer of Mormonism.

Well, Jim, I respect your hatred, but I think Romney is better than Obama.

I think Obama is the worst thing that ever happened to us and must be stopped.

If we stop Obama now, we’ll have a chance to build some grass roots support for a good conservative to take over.

If we don’t stop Obama, we won’t have that chance.

Just my opinion.
