Accepting nominations:
| Tentative Rank | Name | Achievements | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 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? |
| 2 | 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 |
| 3 | 2012 Summer Olympics participants | The inspiring athletes are overwhelmingly conservative and outspoken in their Christian faith. | Why can't underachieving atheists learn from this? |
| 4 | 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 | Rep. Paul Ryan | excellent Vice Presidential candidate; spokesman for fiscal conservatives in Congress | Did more for the Republican brand than anyone else in 2012 |
| 6 | 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 |
| 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 | has overcome a personal disability that confines him to a wheelchair |
| 8 | Dinesh D'Souza | His film 2016: Obama's America became the second-highest box office success for a documentary in history. | His documentary relied exclusively on using Obama's own words, the liberal media ignoring the film's existence couldn't stop its success. |
