“I would hope that we can discuss issues like that in a spirit of camaraderie, except I will have to note that when people misquote other people's positions, they can expect people to get upset about it. I will say that what I have heard personally over the last year is an attempt that I would believe that many Democrats are making to try to frighten the senior citizens of the United States by using misquotes, by trying to present to them the idea that the Republican Party has some idea of taking away their Social Security and taking away their Medicare. I would say I believe that this is an insult to the senior citizens, in particular, of our country, and I think our senior citizens are much more intelligent and will not fall for that type of tactic. Mr. Speaker, what I would like to speak about tonight with my remaining 3 rac{1}{2} minutes is something that is a major threat to the well-being of every American. That is a battle that is going on that nobody even hears about. What is happening is we are now facing the most severe attack on America's patent system that we have ever had in the history of the United States.”
