Why don't people talk about the fact that Al Gore tried to end free speech?

Although Gore won the overall popular vote in 2000, Bush won with 18-29-year-old voters. Might this, combined with Gore's running mate, be why? This seems to be the one case where supporting age restrictions hurt a politician.

It's also interesting to me that for all people like to blame the religious right for these things, it was Democrats such as Tipper, Lieberman, and Hillary who pushed for these things. If it wasn't for the Democrats, we might have topless women on our beaches and tvs and we might be able to drink at 18.

I wonder if, had Gore won, Tipper and Lieberman would have tried to get Janet Jackson registered as a sex offender.

Young voters were mostly Gen X then and Old Voters were still Early Silent/Late Greatest

Some elderly voters who accidentally voted for Buchanan said that they felt like they had voted against everything they fought for.
