Oh, your comments were engaged all right. You just don't like the obvious result; that you're willing to support the object of your criticism. Which makes you at best an equivocator, and at worst a hypocrite.
Well, let's draw you a pitcher, so's you can understand.
1. fistful likes tiny government, freedom of speech, the nuclear option in judicial nominations of originalist judges, border control, gun freedom, and water-boarding.
2. McCain is in some degree hostile to all of those things.
4. fistful is voting for McCain
Paddy: "But fistful, why are you voting for someone you don't completely agree with?"

fistful: "Because of number three. I'm not sure how you could fail to know about number three. Maybe only adults know about number three."

3. McCain is the alternative to Democratic control of the White House, which is even more hostile to that which fistful believes.
