Do wingers see a parallel between Hamas and the GOP?

Is that was this nut is getting at? Doesn't he realize the parallels between his description of Hamas and his own party?

ABC reports Hamas edged out Fatah — so the exit polls were wrong on the winner, but correct in calling a close election.

If Hamas pursues the war path, the Israelis will beat them and beat them badly. If Hamas “accomodates” Israel (ie, accomodates reality) then Hamas will have to eat its strident rhetoric. Is Hamas prepared to fix the potholes (there are many) and pick up the garbage? Nope– Hamas is prepped to fight an insurgency, with friendly powers footing the bills. Fatah now becomes the opposition and is free to criticize. Fatah also has the US as a de facto ally. Who funds Hamas? Saddam is gone. There are friendly Saudis, and there’s the EU. Provoking a war with Israel may play well in the alleys but it won’t impress the banks.
