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.

Good grief. Of course you wouldn't be permitted to have more than one wife, you have to be a special lds to do that.
No, what I can not accept is the prospect of another liberal president, the question why are you so willing to accept it?
Hey you!
Did you get this is a CNN article, don’t you?
What I find interesting is that you rag on greyfoxx39, yet provide zero evidence that the information is false as you claim. IE bunch of crap
That actually would make you not to much different than liberals, who just scream and yell.
Good job though, you will be entertaining.
You’re so fun! Thank you.
I have no interest in Romney’s mormanism at this early point, because he strikes me as a nominal morman. He’s a “bishop” because he is ambitious, not because he is sincere about his sect, and it’s useful for a resume enhancer. Just like his politics, he’s ambitious for power & privilege, having nothing to do with a sincere affection for traditional Republicanism or conservativism. Like Santorum, Romney flipped a coin to decide which party had an opening and took it. Unfortunately, we got him, but he belongs with Democrats.
Rita, you may repeat all you want you “think” Romney is a nominal mormon, he is not a nominal mormon in any sense.
He holds a temple recommendation (TR), only 15% or so of mormons make it to that high level.
There actually is nothing in Romney’s liberalism that is contrary to his mormonism.
Romney’s family has been in the hierarchy of mormonism since its foundation and he quite frequently refers to believing in and supporting the faith of his fathers.
The Mormon sect is unknown to me. The fear of Obama trumps any and all things Romney, so discussion of his faith is ignored and I have zero interest past his socialist/Marxist politics shared by most non-Christians.
Rita, I would recommend that you learn about the mormonism cult, not sect.
mormonism is not Christianity.
Romney is a liberal.
Romney is a mormon.
The two are not mutually exclusive.
These people ... I never knew there was such a hotbed of Mormon hate left in the world and here it is on Free Repubic.
Obviously, this man spent many years in public service, was a governor for ten years and had a high appointment under President Bush.
To drag up polygamy on this guy is grasping at really ugly straws.
This pick does Romney no good. Lots of blogs today were bringing up the fact that Leavitt is pro-Obamacare.
How stupid is Romney?
Leavitt is pro-obamaCare that is enough to disqualify him, that has nothing to do with him being a mormon.
Romney is not anti-obamaCare and that has nothing to do with him being a mormon.
I share your opinion that most all socialists/Marxists are non-Christian, or atheists. We know at least two happen to be morman. Some are CINO Catholic, but apostate and self excommunicated.
Leavitt is a crony capitalist who has been making millions off of Obamacare. He sends absolutely the wrong/right message about a Romney administration by heading up his transition team.
Ok, I am confused are you saying you know that Romney is a socialist? Or that BHO is a socialist? Both are not Christian, as in not practicing Christianity.
Romney is not, has not excommunicated himself from SLC lds, that is my point to you.
He is and has always been part of the hierarchy of mormonism.
His family has been from the beginning.
Romney is as ingrained in mormonism as the “twelve” and “the first president”, any higher and he’d be one of them.
For a reason I do not understand, you apparently dismiss this involvement as opportunist, I can tell you it is not, it is striving for his own godhood.
Romney is a liberal, Romney is a mormon, they are not mutuality exclusive.
What’s the big deal about a third...or fourth? What the hay.. make it 10!

Was that sarcastic? Because if it wasn’t then you know nothing of the Hell that polygamy REALLY is.
I have several friends who escaped it and the horror stories make you cry, scream, and shudder.
Oh?

Dang, grey!
You been ACCUSED!!
You'd best waste a lot of your time to ANSWER these very serious charges!
EVERYone can see that the evidence is, is, is....
...underwhelming!
Sister Inmen: A few kooks with power to cleanse the Temples...
Ah...
That's what SLC wants you to keep repeating!
Actually the 'fundies' are BRAVE enough to follow MORMON 'scripture'; whereas the spineless weasels, sequestered high above the whiteshirted drones in Salt Lake County (Original county of State of Deseret), would rather have STATEHOOD than to OBEY the commands of their GOD!
~ Wilford Woodruff, 4th LDS President
58 Now, as touching the law of the apriesthood, there are many things pertaining thereunto.
59 Verily, if a man be called of my Father, as was aAaron, by mine own voice, and by the voice of him that bsent me, and I have endowed him with the ckeys of the power of this priesthood, if he do anything in my name, and according to my law and by my word, he will not commit dsin, and I will justify him.
60 Let no one, therefore, set on my servant Joseph; for I will justify him; for he shall do the sacrifice which I require at his hands for his transgressions, saith the Lord your God.
61 And again, as pertaining to the law of the priesthood—if any man espouse a virgin, and desire to espouse aanother, and the first give her consent, and if he espouse the second, and they are virgins, and have vowed to no other man, then is he justified; he cannot commit adultery for they are given unto him; for he cannot commit adultery with that that belongeth unto him and to no one else.
62 And if he have aten virgins given unto him by this law, he cannot commit adultery, for they belong to him, and they are given unto him; therefore is he justified.
63 But if one or either of the ten virgins, after she is espoused, shall be with another man, she has committed adultery, and shall be destroyed; for they are given unto him to amultiply and replenish the earth, according to my commandment, and to fulfil the promise which was given by my Father before the foundation of the world, and for their exaltation in the eternal worlds, that they may bear the souls of men; for herein is the work of my Father continued, that he may be bglorified.
64 And again, verily, verily, I say unto you, if any man have a wife, who holds the keys of this power, and he teaches unto her the law of my priesthood, as pertaining to these things, then shall she believe and administer unto him, or she shall be destroyed, saith the Lord your God; for I will destroy her; for I will magnify my name upon all those who receive and abide in my law.
65 Therefore, it shall be lawful in me, if she receive not this law, for him to receive all things whatsoever I, the Lord his God, will give unto him, because she did not believe and administer unto him according to my word; and she then becomes the transgressor; and he is exempt from the law of Sarah, who administered unto Abraham according to the law when I commanded Abraham to take aHagar to wife.
66 And now, as pertaining to this law, verily, verily, I say unto you, I will reveal more unto you, hereafter; therefore, let this suffice for the present. Behold, I am Alpha and Omega. Amen.
Or should that be GODS???
1–6, Exaltation is gained through the new and everlasting covenant; 7–14, The terms and conditions of that covenant are set forth; 15–20, Celestial marriage and a continuation of the family unit enable men to become gods; 21–25, The strait and narrow way leads to eternal lives; 26–27, The law is given relative to blasphemy against the Holy Ghost; 28–39, Promises of eternal increase and exaltation are made to prophets and Saints in all ages; 40–47, Joseph Smith is given the power to bind and seal on earth and in heaven; 48–50, The Lord seals upon him his exaltation; 51–57, Emma Smith is counseled to be faithful and true; 58–66, Laws governing the plurality of wives are set forth.
16Therefore, when they are out of the world they neither marry nor are given in amarriage; but are appointed angels in bheaven, which angels are ministering cservants, to minister for those who are worthy of a far more, and an exceeding, and an eternal weight of glory.
17For these angels did not abide my law; therefore, they cannot be enlarged, but remain separately and singly, without exaltation, in their saved condition, to all eternity; and from henceforth are not gods, but are aangels of God forever and ever.
18And again, verily I say unto you, if a man marry a wife, and make a covenant with her for time and for all eternity, if that acovenant is not by me or by my word, which is my law, and is not sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise, through him whom I have anointed and appointed unto this power, then it is not valid neither of force when they are out of the world, because they are not joined by me, saith the Lord, neither by my word; when they are out of the world it cannot be received there, because the angels and the gods are appointed there, by whom they cannot pass; they cannot, therefore, inherit my glory; for my house is a house of order, saith the Lord God.
19And again, verily I say unto you, if a man amarry a wife by my word, which is my law, and by the new and beverlasting covenant, and it is csealed unto them by the Holy Spirit of dpromise, by him who is anointed, unto whom I have appointed this power and the ekeys of this priesthood; and it shall be said unto them—Ye shall come forth in the first resurrection; and if it be after the first resurrection, in the next resurrection; and shall inherit fthrones, kingdoms, principalities, and powers, dominions, all heights and depths—then shall it be written in the Lamb’s gBook of Life, that he shall commit no hmurder whereby to shed innocent iblood, and if ye abide in my covenant, and commit no murder whereby to shed innocent blood, it shall be done unto them in all things whatsoever my servant hath put upon them, in time, and through all eternity; and shall be of full force when they are out of the world; and they shall pass by the angels, and the gods, which are set there, to their jexaltation and glory in all things, as hath been sealed upon their heads, which glory shall be a fulness and a continuation of the kseeds forever and ever.
20 Then shall they be gods, because they have no end; therefore shall they be from aeverlasting to everlasting, because they continue; then shall they be above all, because all things are subject unto them. Then shall they be bgods, because they have call power, and the angels are subject unto them.
21Verily, verily, I say unto you, except ye abide my alaw ye cannot attain to this glory.
22For astrait is the gate, and narrow the bway that leadeth unto the exaltation and continuation of the clives, and few there be that find it, because ye receive me not in the world neither do ye know me.
23But if ye receive me in the world, then shall ye know me, and shall receive your exaltation; that awhere I am ye shall be also.
24This is aeternal lives—to bknow the only wise and true God, and Jesus Christ, whom he hath csent. I am he. Receive ye, therefore, my law.
25aBroad is the gate, and wide the way that leadeth to the bdeaths; and many there are that go in thereat, because they creceive me not, neither do they abide in my law.
FRiend, Relax. Of course it was sarcastic. Didn`t think the /s tag was needed... apparently it was.
