Pronoun reference, which two men?

But remember the conservative's made the word liberal a four letter word until just recently when guys like Cloony and I (two peas in a pod-lol) rebelled and started saying I am proud to be a liberal.

For years a person could not even get elected as a liberal except in a few places in the country.

Conservatives have known for years they could win elections just by accusing their opponent of being a liberal or socialist.

Sad chapter in our history and I guarantee you had liberals been in charge the last 30 years we would not be in this mess we are in and would we would be a much more healthy and prosperous nation than we presently are.
