Well my defintion includes CFR to RNC like Henry Kissinger, Mel Martinez.
Not to mention Tom Ridge, titualar leader of the GOP in my state (PA), former governor, Homeland Security Secretary, friend of George W. Bush.
The CFR is a think tank...many many are part of it. Where you are leading to is the NWO people who meet in the woods out of the media eye. My guess is that McCain never got that invite because he doesn't have the right "label". He still likes to be called an American.
