The ultra religious Duggar family has been on the campaign trail for Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum, and they spoke exclusively to RadarOnline.com about why they’re throwing their family’s support behind him.
“We want a man that honors God to lead our nation,” Michelle Duggar said about the man she is supporting for the Republican party nomination.

“We have been praying to the Lord that if you want the heart of the voters to turn to Rick Santorum then please do so,” she said.
“We prayed that more people would take a look at him, and more people are getting behind him.”
Jim Bob Duggar, the father of the family that stars in 19 Kids and Counting, said he was impressed with Santorum’s tenacity throughout his career. “He has the backbone of steel and the heart of gold.”
While stumping for the candidate they said that they’ve learned more about where he stands on issues.
“He’s a family values candidate with a proven track record. He honors life and stands up for what is right.”
The Duggar family has been on the campaign trail for Santorum, and even offered him a ride in their luxury van, but he declined and rides around in a pickup truck.

Jim Bob said he admired the way Santorum’s managing his campaign.
“He’s on a shoe string budget, but we hope that he will go from a pickup truck to Air Force One.”

The Duggars are really starting to become a mockery. I used to respect their decisions on their kids. With the death of the last baby she should start to think she's unintentionally murdering these babies by allowing conception to take place..

Dear God, Please stop hillbilly breeding contests and make them shut up. Amen.

It's only uneducated idiots like these two right-wing religious nutjobs who do not understand the SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE.

Keep talking Duggars, and scare everyone away from him (and he's scary enough on his own.) I can guarantee that Obama will win if Santorum is his opponent.

This should SCARE the heck out of people! "One of the things I will talk about, that no president has talked about before, is I think the dangers of contraception in this country." -- Rick Santorum

Where on earth did the GOP dig this nutjob up from?

If this guy ever even had a chance, the Duggars just lost it for him.

Santorum should become a minister and leave running the country to people that understand how to live in a pluralistic and secular society.

Yes, one thing that fanatics of all faiths seem to forget- societies are pluralistic. Unless these people only want a theocracy?
