In the melting pot that is America, inclusive trumps exclusive. Whether it's single women, young adults, or minorities, alienating the rapidly growing voting blocs is not smart politics.

More quotes by Eliot Spitzer
I don't like politicians who vacillate.
Eliot Spitzer
The irony is that it was tougher to rent a car from Cerberus when it owned Alamo than to buy a semi-automatic. To rent a car, one had to provide ID, a drivers' license, and get insurance coverage. To buy a gun? Cash and carry, from the back of a station wagon at a gun show. No concerns about downstream liability or risk.
Eliot Spitzer
Once again, the puppets on Capitol Hill are about to slam the Muppets on Main Street. The country still hasn't recovered from the Wall Street-induced financial cataclysm of 2008, yet Congress is preparing to enact the Orwellian 'JOBS Act' - a bill that should in fact be called the 'Return Fraud to Wall Street in One Easy Step Act.'

As one who was a prosecutor for many years, I can tell you that having a tape recording of interrogations would help everybody. It would make clear if there had been improper pressure exerted on a defendant or witness, and it would also protect the interrogating officer from false claims that such pressure had been brought to bear.

Those who are critical of Alliance are the same people who have done nothing for 30 years.

After 25-plus years as a lawyer, prosecutor, and defense attorney, I have developed a deep appreciation for both the wisdom of the law and the role that jurists play in framing the rights and responsibilities that define our society.
Eliot Spitzer
It's time to let science and medicine, not politics and rhetoric, lead us to good, sound policy.
Eliot Spitzer
My career was obviously cut shorter than I wanted it to be.
Eliot Spitzer
Global warming threatens our health, our economy, our natural resources, and our children's future. It is clear we must act.
Eliot Spitzer
When you're in office, there are tangible moments when you can see tangible successes.
Eliot Spitzer
I would say to those who don't like the metaphor This is reality.
Eliot Spitzer
The pace of global warming is accelerating and the scale of the impact is devastating. The time for action is limited - we are approaching a tipping point beyond which the opportunity to reverse the damage of CO2 emissions will disappear.
Eliot Spitzer
Companies that pollute should be taxed so that a product's cost to society is reflected in the price of that product.
Eliot Spitzer
It sucks. I used to be governor of New York.
Eliot Spitzer
In 2007, when I was governor of New York, I proposed that our state once again permit undocumented immigrants to obtain a driver's license. To say the proposal lit a firestorm in the political arena is an understatement.
Eliot Spitzer
While their fiscal views aren't mine, the moderates are the last reasonable voice in the current Republican Party.
Eliot Spitzer
I stand before you today because this vision of government as the engine of opportunity is what I believe in.
Eliot Spitzer
I don't think Michael Bloomberg would say that his greatest skill is delivering the speech. He would say he's more of a nuts-and-bolts mayor-picking up the trash, dealing with the school system.
Eliot Spitzer
I apologize to the public, whom I promised better.
Eliot Spitzer
I have disappointed and failed to live up to the standard I expected of myself.
