1. I don't think it will be a big issue
North was pretty popular in his day.

3. Ollie North
When the whole mess began to make the news, it looked like he was a fall guy, taking the heat for his leader. Most people believed he was never going to involve the president, even if it meant a jail term for himself which, of course, turned out to be a 3 year suspended term.

6. North was popular in his day
Mainly because no one was smart enough to look beyond the uniform! And those that knew him were more loyal to Reagan then they were to this country, and probably still are!

What was it that a Roman said about treason from within?

5. Having him as the nominee is torture enough.

7. So was just talking to an office mate and I told him that mclame voted
for the torture bill. I said, "the guy was tortured and he voted for it!". My office mate got a wry look on his face and said, "I guess mclame must think torture works".
