I wouldn't want to work for someone who donated directly to political campaigns that were against me.

You don't want to help make someone else rich if you have good reason to believe that they will spend the money on making your life worse.

I work for people all the time who have different political views than myself. They even are millionaires or billionaires who donate a lot to those causes. That does not make me ask the CEO to step down.
Having a difference of opinion is not the same as helping fund a campaign and then refusing to explain your reasons. And I would not work for a company if I knew that the CEO was funding certain causes.

Is basically the issue raised in Clerks about Death Star politics :) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGOVbXF7Iog
