So what does Mr. "as Conservative as they come" guy say about the debt ceiling.

I have googled and binged and dogpiled and I can't find anything but non-committal silence from Perry. I can't find snot from him regarding the debt ceiling. Is he for or against. Is he for McConnell's plan or is he really going to express no opinion on this issue which is the most critical issue in the USA as of this moment?

Jim Demint said don't raise the debt ceiling.

“It’s not ideal, but we don’t need to panic and rush into a deal. And the President has actually been burning the clock with these secret negotiations pushing us up against a deadline so he can create this panic.”

Michelle Bachmann said don't raise the debt ceiling.

Bachmann told a crowd of more than 100 supporters gathered in her Urbandale office's parking lot that she has never voted to raise the debt ceiling during her time in Congress and won't this time around, either.

"It's time for tough love," she said, to applause.

Herman Cain said don't raise the debt ceiling.

Presidential hopeful Herman Cain insists the debt ceiling can be held where it is and all the hand-wringing over the issue “is a charade,” Herman Cain says.

“They can hold the debt ceiling where it is,” Cain said on “Fox News Sunday.” “The problem is it’s all political posturing. They do not need to raise the debt ceiling."

Sarah Palin said don't raise the debt ceiling.

"We cannot afford to back off and hand him a white flag saying, 'Here Mr. President we trust you you take over, you do it' because our president has failed in that area," she said. "We cannot default but we cannot afford to retreat either, now is not the time to retreat. It's the time to reload and we reload with reality," she said.

Even Rick Santelli don't raise the debt ceiling.

“I don’t believe in compromise on spending,” Santelli shouted. “There’s no compromise. Stop spending.” And from there it got weirder. Referring to a comment from Warren Buffet about the debt ceiling negotiations referring to the negotiations as a game of Russian roulette, Santelli said “there’s a bullet in the gun. If we keep spending, for sure we’re going to hit something and it’s going to bleed!

Egad, even Donald Freaking Trump said don't raise the debt ceiling.

On last night’s On the Record, Trump expressed his frustration with the “terrible negotiators” in the Republican Party, who, he told Greta van Susteren, were “making Obama look so great it’s incredible,” because “it looks as if they’re folding,” both on raising the debt ceiling as well as other concessions. Trump noted the negotiations were a triumph for Democrats, and joked that “Nancy Pelosi is laughing all the way to the bank.” Asked what he would do differently, Trump answered that he would “make a final and conclusive deal,” rather than continue to negotiate piecemeal.

So what did Perry say?

So, is Perry for or against raising the debt ceiling? What has he stated? Seeing as how the MSM says he is as Conservative as it gets, and we have 6 conservatives above all demanding that we don't raise the debt ceiling, what is Mr. As Conservative As It Gets Saying? For crying out loud, I can't find it!
