Ok wait a minute.
I missed this one.
Are you saying that the US Constitution is going to fall and only an ldser will be able to restore it?
Or am I missing the point here.
If thats the case no wonder there is such a push for Mitt.

Yeppers. That’s what I’m sayin.’

Since United States Senator Orrin Hatch, a faithful Mormon, announced his candidacy in 1999 for the office of President of the United States, there has been growing interest in how he views the U.S. Constitution and one of Joseph Smith’s little known prophecies. In the Salt Lake Tribune, Nov. 11, 1999, there was an article titled, “Did Hatch Allude To LDS Prophecy?” The article stated:

Sen. Orrin Hatch has denied his Republican presidential campaign is motivated by a longing to fulfill an obscure Mormon myth. But during an interview with a Mormon Church-owned radio station this week he borrowed the exact phrasing of the apocalyptic belief.

According to the so-called “White Horse Prophecy,” the U.S. Constitution will be hanging by a thread and a church elder from Zion will ride in on a metaphorical white horse and save it.

Utah’s senior senator . . . complained that Democrats’ political correctness will be the ruin of the country.

“They tolerate everything that’s bad, and they’re intolerant of everything that’s good. Religious freedom is going to go down the drain, too,” Hatch said. “I’ve never seen it worse than this, where the Constitution literally is hanging by a thread.”

. . . Wright [the radio interviewer], also a Mormon said Hatch clearly was “talking to his folks” in the church audience and his use of the phrase was the buzz of the station afterward.

After Orrin came Romney - then it looks like Huntsman might be next. They’re pushing for it.

Yep, sc, that is exactly what many (if not most) LDS believe and what their leaders have taught in the past.

According to past teachings (and current ‘lay theology’) only a Mormon will be able to save this country. That is exactly why Romney carried so many LDS votes in spite of his RINO record.
