I don’t think he is drinking, but he does have an addictive personality and Mormonism fosters that (feelings over facts).
It may not be a chemical addiction at all, or it could be prescription, more likely IMO, he is addicted to the fame and the attention and the ‘feelings’ of Mormonism.
And I totally agree with Grey about the White Horse prophecy and think that Beck and Romeny both think they are the ‘saviors’.
I haven’t heard that Romney believes in it. Orrin Hatch says that he does.
But I’m waiting for the upcoming primary season when Beck will inevitably come out for Romney-—great-great grandson of Smith’s “apostle” Parley Pratt.
Watching/hearing Beck rationalize that ought to be something to behold.
