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?

Then I have no problems with you, and if the average Tea Partier truly thinks as you do, no problems with most of the Tea Party. I object mainly to the notion that anyone gets to dictate what I do with my body and how I believe.

I forget, also, that some Christians really do live according to Christ and not to some twisted legalistic interpretation of what Christ espoused. That is a failure of mine.
