Here’s video of a floor discussion between Representative Bob Filner (D - CA) and Representative Steven Buyer (R - IN) over a bill to name a VA hospital in New Mexico after Medal of Honor recipient, and Korean war vet, Raymond G. ‘Jerry’ Murphy.

The Democrats don’t want to pass this bill, but it’s not because the bill is all that controversial.  As Mario Burgos explains:

So, why isn’t this bill, which incidentally has the support of the VA Department as well as the New Mexico Department of Veterans’ Services, Albuquerque Armed Forces Advisory Association, American Legion, American Veterans, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Military Order of the Purple Heart and the Vietnam Veterans of America, being heard.

A very simple and offensive answer: “Companion legislation (HR.474) was introduced in the House by Representative Heather Wilson.”

That’s right, the Democrat leadership in Congress is willing to insult this Medal of Honor recipient’s memory rather than let the legislation be carried forth by a Republican they so badly want to see defeated.

Pathetically partisan, no?
