On Sunday’s Meet The Press, Mike Huckabee tried to allay fears that he wants to impose Christian ideals on the nation after host Tim Russert brought up the quote in Huckabee’s 1998 book in which he equates homosexuality with necrophilia and pedophilia. “I don’t know whether people are born that way.
