I think the real question is -- can anyone reasonably expect any multinational company to have party loyalty?

Yes.

Disney.

The Chairman of the board is former democratic party senate leader George Mitchell.

The CEO (Michael Eisner) is a long time party fundraiser and democratic backer.

Almost everyone on the board, and most of the executives have strong ties to the democratic party in various ways (when I say fundraiser, I don't mean donor, I mean they paid to help raise money and solicted funds).

ABC donates over 70% of its political contributions to the democratic party and brings in millions more additional through fundraising activities.

Good luck even finding someone at the company to whisper that they are a republican, most of the executives wouldn't even call themselves independents, and the company is proud of the fact that is has been willing to sacrifise profits to take "stands" on social issues. (i.e. gay domestic benefits, gay day, etc).
