So, if Clinton had publicly said he asked God for forgiveness, you'd be OK w/ it moving forward? You have no proof he still cheats, or didn't ask for forgiveness, it is totally 'in the eye of the beholder'

They both have/had serious character issues.

The guys who wrote 'the right strikes back' had accounts from Newt's staffers that current wife wouldn't let him campaign overnight w/ out her there... does she get lonely? or does she fear once a cheat, always a cheat?

"So, if Clinton had publicly said he asked God for forgiveness, you'd be OK w/ it moving forward?"

If Clinton responded the way Gingrish did, I would absolutely be OK with it. Otherwise, I'd be a hypocrit. And I'm not.

"You have no proof he still cheats, "

You are right. But I'd bet an awful lot of money that he still does, and it would be a sucker bet.

"or didn't ask for forgiveness"

I have proof that he didn't ask for forgiveness when first confronted. It was on TV. He angrily denied having the affair, then he said something insane about he only cheated if you don't know what the word "is" means.

"They both have/had serious character issues."

True. Know what else? Together, they proved that if you cut taxes, cut spending, balance the budget, and kick lazy people off welfare (the ones who ought to be working), you can really revitalize an economy. Maybe you haven;t noticed, but we could use that right now. So when the messiah Obama says that conservative economic principles "never work", which he said in Kansas last week, he is demonstrably wrong. Look at how the economy performed after Clinton/Gingrich did their thing. Not too shabby. What never works is socialism.
