And regardless of her convenient "regret" after the fact(and after getting steamrolled by angry constituents), along with voting against ObamaCare, voting to repeal Obama care, Voting against the stimulus bills, etc, How do you make the argument that she is not a wingnut?

Not being the most Authoritarian right representative of the Republican party does not make one not a wingnut. In fact, I think its fair to argue that there may not be a single elected republican today who is not a wingnut.
