| Famous Party Appeasers - Neville Chamberlain - John Boehner |
Basically,
Boehner is in a tough spot. (No, don't feel sorry for him. It's what he gets

means compromising with Democrats on the budget, but he also has to try to
appeal to the Tea Party wing of the GOP, a significant part of its right-wing base,
if he wants to avoid a full-scale rebellion against his leadership (which could
also harm the party's electoral prospects), which means refusing to compromise
and allowing for, if not encouraging, a government shutdown…
