So the debate went down. The moderator asked a lot of questions about rather trivial things like transportation and census reform. Oh, and there was also some talk about his one country called Iraq and some financial crisis that's apparently going on...
During the 90-minute debate, there were a couple rather funny moments:
2:19-Kirk attacks Seals for working at GE Capital, a company involved in the financial crisis
2:21-Seals asserts that Kirk doesn’t get that some of us need to have jobs to support our families. Says Kirk hasn’t had a job outside of Washington, but might in 16 days.
2:32-Kirk wants to secure the Mexican border to stop terror
2:33-Seals: says border patrol is better than a 20 foot fance. It can't be stopped by 21' ladder. Wants to deport criminals, but let other illegal immigrants apply for citizenship.
2:36-Seals wants to double number of people using mass transit, because it’s for environment. Also wants to stop earmarks, bring home troops.
2:38-Kirk says he's had train lines doubled, calls Half Day Road “Full Day Road” because of traffic congestion, condemns Gov. Blagojevich. Crowd cheers (Dems too).
2:39-Seals agrees that Blagojevich kind of sucks. Warm and fuzzy bipartisan moment
2:42-Seals rips Kirk for accepting campaign contributions pharmaceutical companies, then for voting to keep drug prices high
2:43-Kirk lampoons Seals for taking Indian casino money from Charlie Rangel.
3:03-Seals says 185 gas when Kirk started, asks what happened to gas prices. Supports domestic drilling. Says big oil big enough to “fly off on its own.”
3:04-Kirk talks about Seals’ gas stunt. Moderator gets pissed.
3:06- Seals says gov’t should support equal pay for women,
3:07-Kirk says women should take control of their own rights (as opposed to trial lawyers in class action suits), is booed
3:09-Seals calls BS, says equal pay is a fundamental right.
