Here's the first search I tried:

"not my president" site:www.freerepublic.com (1)
"not my president" site:www.democraticunderground.com (23)

The funny thing is, the one hit at FR was from one of my own posts:

The left's fundamental hostility to law based democracy is showing, and has spread to many 'Rats that would not normally consider themselves left-radicals.

As much as conservative Republicans came to hate Wm. Jefferson Clinton, as much as they were ashamed to have The Rapist as President, I could count on the fingers of one hand (and have fingers left over) the number of times I heard Republicans say of Clinton, "he's not my President." Conservatives understand that such a declaration is an implicit repudiation of the Republic's constitution, and of the core principles of representative government.

As to the number of Democrats who said of Bush, "he is not my President," I lost count within weeks of his election.

I liked your idea of the site search. Although, to be perfectly fair, comments from Republicans about Clinton is "not my president" were likely more frequent during his presidency, and hence may have been aged out of google's search capabilities.

Alont the same lines:

"I hate" site:www.freerepublic.com / 217

"I hate" site:www.democraticunderground.com / 645


(for those new to advanced searching, this means that the words "I hate" appeared 217 times on our site, but a whopping 645 tunes on their site, although this thread will soon change that ratio!)

Hmmmm.....
