The Duggar family endorsement of Rick Santorum is unexpected, but not a surprise. They are self-admitted Focus on the Family followers. I don't believe in guilt by association, but when you are a member of FoF and an endorser of a person like Rick Santorum, you are also acknowledging that you are a hateful bigot. FoF and Santorums positions on the issues are well known. They are steeped in hate, fear, and bigotry. Focus on the Family is well known for their fundamentalist, bigoted, and hateful interpretation of the bible. Now the Duggar family has shown that they are the same thing. The show should start with a disclaimer saying "We're the Duggars and we're homophobes."
Duggar said four years ago, he asked Mitt Romney to explain why there was a $50 co-pay included in his Massachusetts healthcare plan for women seeking abortions.
"He would not answer me," said Duggar. "He walked away and got in his bus." He urged reporters to ask Romney whether he had tried to repeal that aspect of the Massachusetts healthcare law.
By contrast, said Duggar, Santorum co-sponsored a bill to ban so-called partial birth abortions when he was in the U.S. Senate.

(6,086 posts)I felt the same thing when the Duggars endorsed him. They belong to the "Quiverfull" madness which encourages white people to have as many children as possible to counter a perceived threat to the white part of the human race.
