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

Never talk when you can nod and never nod when you can wink and never write an e-mail, because it's death. You're giving prosecutors all the evidence we need.

When the United States was founded, the very idea of a nation premised on democratic principles of freedom and tolerance was viewed by the vast majority of the world as an experiment doomed to fail. Dictatorships, monarchies, and theocracies had for many centuries ruled the world.

The agreement we have today is the first of its kind, ... We think this is an agreement that can be a template for others to use.

H&R Block is a company that has been advertising itself quite consistently as being in your corner. I think it is fair to say that they have not been in your corner but have been putting customers in the corner instead.

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.

It is unacceptable that more than three weeks after this serious vulnerability was revealed, these same CDs are still on shelves, during the busiest shopping days of the year.
Eliot Spitzer -
The word 'fraud' will be in some of the documents that are the settlement documents, ... I believe very deeply that at its root what was going on with the analysts and the investment bankers was probably the largest fraud ever committed upon the investing public.

Who might or might not be my opponent on the other side of the aisle, I'll just wait and see how it plays out.

The Republican argument that raising the debt ceiling encourages additional future spending is logically irresponsible. The debt ceiling has to be raised to authorize spending already approved by Congress. Despite that fallacy, the GOP has been able to score political points with its argument.

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 -
Our criminal justice system is fallible. We know it, even though we don't like to admit it. It is fallible despite the best efforts of most within it to do justice. And this fallibility is, at the end of the day, the most compelling, persuasive, and winning argument against a death penalty.

The public expects and deserves the protection that effective government oversight provides. Until the Bush administration shows it is willing to do the job, however, it appears the public will have to rely on state regulators and lawmakers to protect its interests.

Doctors should have access to all scientifically sound information so that they can prescribe appropriate medication for their patients.

The Occupy movement needs an organizing principle, and - just as the Tea Party did - it needs some actual measures of success. Choose one candidate whose agenda is squarely within that of the movement and make his or her electoral success a focal point.
Eliot Spitzer -
I love and always have loved policy issues and trying to have an impact on the issues that are out there. I cherish my years in government. I have loved my participation at CNN, at Current; writing; teaching. Where I will go next, I will have to sort out.

The reason to drive this point home with a vivid and frank comparison is many New Yorkers are still not confronting the reality of how serious our crisis is. It was an exhortation to face reality.
Eliot Spitzer -
Risk is inherent in the market, ... We all understand that and we thrive on that; what we don't tolerate is fraud.
Eliot Spitzer -
It's a scandal that is still unfolding, ... many criminal and civil cases that will be announced in the months to come.
Eliot Spitzer -
We are all used to paying a sales tax when we buy things - almost 9 percent here in New York City. The application of this concept to the financial sector could solve our need for revenue, bring some sanity back into the financial sector, and give us a way to raise the revenue we need to run the government in a fiscally responsible way.

What we have is a fundamental violation of the rights of shareholders and a violation of the duty of mutual funds to protect the interests of long-term shareholders.
Eliot Spitzer -
I do not believe that politics in the long run is about individuals. It is about ideas.
Eliot Spitzer -
Never write when you can talk. Never talk when you can nod. And never put anything in an e-mail.

Global warming threatens our health, our economy, our natural resources, and our children's future. It is clear we must act.
