Your French friend was talking through his hat. Although it might be true of Democrats (3 of their candidates are not CFR members either: Dennis Kucinich, Mike Gravel, and Dick Durbin), I don't believe it of the Republicans...such as Duncan Hunter, Tom Tancredo, or Ron Paul.
Duncan Hunter is not only not in the CFR, he has decisively rejected much of its major tenets and agenda...and vigorously spent his career fighting those agendas...and implicitly thus has been opposing the CFR without explicitly identifying himself as an anti-conspiricist.
So long as he is a viable candidate, he likely will remain diplomatic and coy ...but on positions he lets you know where he stands and how he truly does feel. He is a true patriot.

I was being sarcastic, mocking the thread topic.
I made up a counter conspiracy.
