The ultra religious Duggar family stepped into the political arena on Monday, campaigning in Iowa for Republican candidate Rick Santorum.

Jim Bob Duggar took 12 of the family’s 19 children to Iowa to stump for the Pennsylvania Republican, who is trying to become the candidate for President in the first battleground state of the 2012 election.

He threw his support behind Santorum, but said Republicans are “not going to find a perfect candidate, unless it’s Jesus Christ.”

Michelle Duggar, who recently suffered a tragic miscarriage of their beloved 20th child Jubilee, is reportedly recording robocalls for Santorum, according to ABC News.

Santorum’s wife Karen gave birth to a stillborn baby boy at 20 weeks, and the family brought him home so the other children could meet the baby they named Gabriel. 

According to a New York Times magazine article, Karen wrote about the meeting in her book Letters To Gabriel: The True Story of Gabriel Michael Santorum.
