The Bipartisan Rules is a bipartisan or moderate political website begun in April 2008 by a group of anonymous law students. At least one contemporary of The Bipartisan Rules has described it as "moderate." Although the site often tilts ideologically conservative, and endorsed John McCain for president in 2008, it has criticized virtually every major right-wing figure, including Rush Limbaugh , Sarah Palin , Glenn Beck , Mitt Romney and various Republican congressional leaders. The site also takes a libertarian stance on many issues, including smoking bans, the government's encroachment on civil liberties and gay marriage.

Despite its ideological leanings, The Bipartisan Rules has taken heat from various conservative blogs over the years, including Right Wing News, Booker Rising and Likelihood of Success. It has garnered praise from moderate or centrist blogs such as The Purple Center. However, at another time, The Bipartisan Rules received praise from Likelihood of Success for condemning Republicans for their plan to re-brand their opponents the "Democrat-Socialist Party." . Booker Rising has also cited The Bipartisan Rules favorably for its position on former vice president Dick Cheney.

Despite its criticism of conservative figures, The Bipartisan Rules has been equally harsh to President Barack Obama nearly from the outset of his presidency, criticizing the economic stimulus package, health care reform , civil liberties, Social Security reform and what it perceives to be the president's demagoguery on a host of issues.
