Council for National Policy (CNP) is designed to be a "social conservative" answer to the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). Membership is by invitation only and its membership list is no longer made public.

The CNP describes itself as "an educational foundation organized under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. We do not lobby Congress, support candidates, or issue public policy statements on controversial issues. Our over 600 members include many of our nation's leaders from the fields of government, business, the media, religion, and the professions. Our members are united in their belief in a free enterprise system, a strong national defense, and support for traditional western values. They meet to share the best information available on national and world problems, know one another on a personal basis, and collaborate in achieving their shared goals."

Interestingly enough John Ashcroft, who has said Todd Akin should quit the race, is a known prior member of CNP.

Interestingly enough, both John Ashcroft and Rush Limbaugh’s districts over in the southeaster and southwestern parts of Mizzou went with Todd Akin.
You know: that whole `voters voting for candidates’ thing.
I’m sure the GOP-e wasn’t pleased: A conservative. Tut tut.

I think what someone said on this thread earlier is accurate, about lefty plants. However the lefty (or GOP) trolls appear to be the usual suspects seen over-and-over, thread after thread, denigrating in one post after another the elected conservative candidate, Todd Akin. (Note I said `conservative,’ not GOP.)

This whole mess has turned me full circle: Screw Romney and the GOP-e in 2012.
We’ll elect conservatives in congress and try again in 2016—when the GOP is a broken husk.
So Mitt doesn’t win. Mitt/Barack: six of one, a half dozen of another. They both hate us.
And they’re same-same—using these lousy, despicable tactics against conservatives.
GOP: Hasta la vista, baby! The law of unintended consequences strikes again .....
