Well, I would argue that a corporation isn't advocating the political views of its employees at all. It is advocating the believes that will make the shareholders of the corporation more money. This decision does not allow corporations to "line the pockets of politicians." It allows the corporations to spend money advocating for a candidate, presumably one that it feels would give it the best chance to make more money for its owners. If it picked one that was not going to give it a better chance to make money then either a) they made a misguided decision on who to support, or b) the directors/managers ought to be fired because they are spending the shareholders' money improperly and could find themselves to be the defendants in a shareholder derivative action.
