Yes it does.

Transcript from the Mickelson interview with Romney:

Governor Mitt Romney: I make it very clear. I do not try and distance myself from my faith, in any way shape or form. I’ve been asked time and again, will you distance yourself the your Church, will you disavow this practice, and the answer is no.

Jan Mickelson: The point is when you try to hermetically seal them, that makes your potential supporters who agree with your ethics, nervous. That’s all I’m trying to say.

Governor Mitt Romney: And so what should I do? I should not have been pro-choice. And so therefore I’m just finished right there? Well you were pro choice so you distanced yourself from your faith so you’re finished. So what should I say?

Jan Mickelson: No, no, I made a mistake when I…

Governor Mitt Romney: And every Mormon should be pro-life?

Jan Mickelson: If that’s what your Church says.

Governor Mitt Romney: That’s not what my Church says! There are leaders of my Church who are pro-choice. You’re wrong. That’s your problem.

Jan Mickelson: No that’s false logic. Your Church’s official position is pro-life.

Governor Mitt Romney: No, no-no, no no. We can continue that conversation

Jan Mickelson: We only have about 30 seconds. Unless you want to stay longer.

Governor Mitt Romney: I’ve got to run.

Interesting thing about that interview: Mickelson was predisposed to support Romney against McCain (this was 2007).

Mickleson brought up Constitutional scholar (and Mormon philosopher) Cleon Skousen because Romney had him as a teacher. Romney understands and rejects the conservative view of the Constitution.

Mickelson was then inviting Romney to distance himself from his previous pro-abortion position and was shocked at Romney’s response.

Romney’s pathological lying about hidden cameras puts him in a category with Bill Clinton.
