JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri's large Republican majorities are poised to put a conservative stamp on the state's employment laws Wednesday by attempting to override vetoes of bills cutting jobless benefits to one of the shortest periods nationally and barring cities from boosting the minimum wage.
Legislators also plan to try to override Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon's veto of a bill blocking certain immigrants from receiving college scholarships — a GOP effort that runs counter to what many other states are doing.
Missouri's annual veto session, which begins at noon Wednesday, could feature override attempts on more than a dozen bills. The biggest prize for Republican legislative leaders would be to override Nixon's veto of a right-to-work bill prohibiting workplace contracts with mandatory union fees, but resistance from some within their own ranks makes it a longshot for Missouri to become the 26th state to enact right-to-work.
Veto overrides require a two-thirds vote in each chamber. Republicans hold the supermajorities to make that happen, as long as they don't have more than a few dissenters. Earlier this year, Republicans stuck together to override Nixon's veto of a bill removing several thousand families from the welfare rolls by shortening how long they can receive cash payments.

that the GOP stands for family values. 
And the GOP crowd wonders why they aren't being supported in the election.
They'll NEVER learn. NEVER!!!!!
