When it stops being, even when their actual proposals fail, so politically rewarding. Next election they say:
"Mr. Smith fought hard to protect your children against violence in video games."
If they can somehow find out that their opponent opposed that measure, then they can add: "But Mr. Jones... was opposed to these safety measures. Who do you want protecting your kids?"
From their perspective, it failing is probably better than it succeeding. If it succeeded, then they would have to actually enforce it -- and potentially take flak if a scandalous game got through their checks, giving ammo to their opponents -- a la Grand Theft Auto 3:SA.
