"Judis and Teixeira assume that old-fashioned racist (or nationalist) appeals won't work anymore. Clearly, they still do. Nixon and Wallace decried busing, and Reagan fetishized "state's rights" (the code word for racism), as well as "law and order," "welfare cheating," and support for capital punishment. Bush and his band have their own code words, which their constituents understand clearly enough."

Has anyone collated and catalogued these Bush II code words into one convenient booklet or otherwise accessible "package"?
