Accepting nominations:
| Tentative Rank | Name | Achievements | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2012 Summer Olympics participants | The inspiring athletes are overwhelmingly conservative and outspoken in their Christian faith; displayed conservative lifestyles, charity, and patriotism. | Moved to number 1 because their values and work ethic were so exemplary. Why can't underachieving atheists learn from this? |
| 2 | Governor Scott Walker | took on and triumphed over liberals in Wisconsin, including signing new pro-life legislation into law, rejecting the ObamaCare health insurance exchanges, and curbing Leftist early voting. | Why can't more Republican governors be like Walker? |
| 3 | Rep. Ron Paul | gained support, particularly among young people, for his conservative ideas, from auditing the Federal Reserve to reducing foreign interventionalism; did well in his campaign for president | If Romney had welcomed Paul rather than shun him, Romney may have won |
| 4 | Rep. Todd Akin | stood up to media bullying and remained a strong prolife advocate despite the demands by pro-aborts for him to cave in. | Set a high standard for principles in politics, and exposed the RINO Backers in the process. |
| 5 | Dan Cathy | CEO of Chick-Fil-A; He stood strong in defense of God's laws as a campaign of liberal hate made him nationwide news. | Set franchise sales records as the chain was rewarded by the public |
| 6 | Rep. Paul Ryan | excellent Vice Presidential candidate; spokesman for fiscal conservatives in Congress | Did more for the Republican brand than anyone else in 2012 |
| 7 | Greg Abbott | Attorney General of Texas who repeatedly rejected the pro-abortion and other liberal policies of the Obama Administration, leading as many as 16 lawsuits against Obama's unjustified policies | Abbott has overcome a personal disability that confines him to a wheelchair. |
| 8 | Richard Mourdock | Treasurer of the State of Indiana. His sincere, logical answer to a question at the debate for the U.S. Senate seat for Indiana caused him to lose due to liberal demagoguery | He put logic and personal faith above public approval, passing a test that so many fail. |
| 9 | Victoria Jackson | The former Saturday Night Live star who is an effective conservative commentator | In 2012, Victoria Jackson outshined the RINO Backers. |
| 10 | Tim Tebow | conservative quarterback who led his team to a spectacular playoff upset of the mighty Pittsburgh Steelers in January | unfairly denied another real opportunity since his stunning victory over the Steelers, Tebow handled the inhuman treatment by the liberal media with charm and grace |
| 11 | Dinesh D'Souza | His film 2016: Obama's America became the second highest box office success for a political documentary in history.[1] | His documentary relied exclusively on using Obama's own words, the liberal media ignoring the film's existence couldn't stop its success. |
| 12 | Australian Queensland Premier Campbell Newman | The leader of the Liberal National Party in Queensland who won government from the reigning Labor party by taking 78 out of a possible 89, leaving Labor with just 7 seats. | He also broke the public service unions and put in legislation to make the government live within its means. |
| 13 | Park Geun-hye | Conservative leader of the Saenuri Party in South Korea, Park Geun-hye became the first woman president in its nation's history.[1] | Underreported by the liberal media because they oppose conservative women leaders |
| 14 | Shinzo Abe | Led the conservative Liberal Democratic Party to victory in Japan's elections for its lower house.[1] | Japan is an essential ally against communist China's growing aggression. |
| 15 | Wayne LaPierre | Executive VP of National Rife Association defended gun rights after Sandy Hook | Led spirited defense of Second Amendment in the face of RINO defections on Gun rights |
