Mormon White Horse Prophecy & 2012 election

"The White Horse Prophecy is a statement purported to have been made in 1843 by Joseph Smith Jr., founder of the Latter Day Saint movement, regarding the future of the Latter Day Saints (Mormons) and the United States of America. The Latter Day Saints, according to the prophecy, would "go to the Rocky Mountains and ... be a great and mighty people", identified figuratively with the White Horse described in the Revelation of John. The prophecy further predicts that the United States Constitution will one day "hang like a thread" and will be saved "by the efforts of the White Horse".
Some have speculated, on the basis of the White Horse Prophecy, that Mormons expect the United States to eventually become a theocracy dominated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). The authenticity of the prophecy as a whole, which was not made public until long after Smith's death, is debated, and the leadership of the LDS Church has stated that "the so-called 'White Horse Prophecy' ... is not embraced as Church doctrine." However, the belief that members of the LDS Church will one day need to take action to save the imperiled US Constitution has been attributed to Smith in several sources and has been discussed in an approving fashion by Brigham Young and other LDS leaders."

Commentary:

# Seems likely Joseph Smith never said it-rather was made up after his death
# Interesting though that we find our Constitution under attack (1st amendment freedom of religion with attacks on the Catholic Church and the 2nd amendment that was the intent of the 'fast & furious' operation just to name a few) and we now have a Mormon-Mitt Romney-a Presidential nominee
# Would Romney really turn us all Mormon-Not any more than Clinton made us all Baptists or W made us all Methodists...or Obama made us all Muslims or followers of Jeremiah Wright
# The colored horses of Revelation have nothing to do with the Mormon Church
# Joseph Smith was NOT a PROPHET anyway-how do I know? Because he doesn't speak to the Law or the Testimony-he contradicted it
To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
Isaiah 8:20
Jospeh Smith preached "another gospel"-the book of Mormon-which he believed outranks the Bible
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
Galatians 1:8

P.S. - See how Lucifer can be very, very tricky with his false prophets?
By the way, this was NOT meant as an attack on Mr. Romney, I plan to vote for the gentleman for the Presidency based on the choices we have this year
