Where do we draw the line?

Regarding the Feb. 3 letter "Nobody's perfect": While the writer's statements may be true, does that mean we should forgive and forget all past transgressions?

I personally believe one can overlook Newt Gingrich's three marriages, but find it difficult to overlook his affair with one woman while married to another.

If Gingrich, and those who support him, believe that it is OK to lie to and cheat on his his wife, then it must be OK to lie to and cheat the voters as long as he repents. Where does one draw the line?
