I'm not a liberal, but if I was, I can't imagine what I would have against the Tea Party movement - so hopefully a liberal/democrat could help me out with this.

I understand the movement is made up mostly of conservatives, so wouldn't that either be a good, or at worst, neutral thing for you when elections come around?

Sure, the Tea Party isn't an official party with representatives, but when a big (or the big) election comes around, they'll most likely endorse someone (If they don't, that would fall under neutral). If the person/people they back are Republican, you saw it coming, and you'll pretty much have the same outcome there would have been if the TP never existed (again, neutral result). If the person/people they back aren't Republican, it wouldn't be taking many, if any, votes away from your side - nowhere near the number it would be taking away from Republicans (this would fall under good for you).

Or am I missing something?

There was a guest commentator on the Joy Behar show the other day who said that he had gotten on a bus to go to a Tea Party event and that the only white guy on the bus was the driver (although this guy was Italian, so I guess he wasn't counting himself) and at the event he saw a couple oddball people and noticed that the cameras hung around them and didn't point at any of the non-white people there. And Joy's response was "but they're all so racist".
