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?

I sifted through your blog. Didn't see one mention of disgust over Liberal groups who are more disruptive or threatening than what the Tea Parties are made out to be. I did, however, find this gem:

And you think Tea Partiers are violent?

LOL using my blog as an example of anything. My blog is a bunch of goofy crap, complaints about technology and fawning over movie stars and TV shows.
